This build has an easy leveling process. You can start using Ground Slam until level 12, then you use Sunder until you reach Ancestral Bond on the skill tree, then use Ancestral Warchief with 2 handed mace until level 60 when you'll be able to equip Abyssus. For auras and detailed leveling setups click here.
- Elreon Jewelry are in my opinion the best items to level any build, imagine goes all the way until lvl 50 ~ 60 without needing to spend one single Mana point. But low level ones might be hard to acquire if you are not playing on Standard. If you are playing on the Challenge League check the next ring.
